Corn Planted Acreage Down Percent from 13 Soybean Acreage Up 11 Percent All Wheat Acreage Up Less Than 1 Percent All Cotton Acreage Up 9 Percent Corn planted area for all purposes in 1 is estimated at 91.6 million acres, down percent from last year. This represents the lowest planted acreage in the United s since ; however, this is the fifth largest corn acreage in the United s since 19. Soybean planted area for 1 is estimated at a record high 8.8 million acres, up 11 percent from last year. Area for harvest, at 8.1 million acres, is up 11 percent from 13 and will be a record high by more than. million acres, if realized. Record high planted acreage is estimated in Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. All wheat planted area for 1 is estimated at 6. million acres, up less than 1 percent from 13. The 1 winter wheat planted area, at.3 million acres, is down percent from last year but up less than 1 percent from the previous estimate. Of this total, about 30. million acres are Hard Red Winter, 8.0 million acres are Soft Red Winter, and 3.1 million acres are White Winter. Area planted to other spring wheat for 1 is estimated at 1. million acres, up percent from 13. Of this total, about 1.0 million acres are Hard Red Spring wheat. The intended Durum planted area for 1 is estimated at 1. million acres, down slightly from the previous year. All cotton planted area for 1 is estimated at 11. million acres, 9 percent above last year. Upland area is estimated at 11. million acres, up percent from 13.

25 Biotechnology Varieties The National Agricultural Statistics Service conducts the June Agricultural Survey in all s each year. Randomly selected farmers across the United s were asked if they planted corn, soybeans, or Upland cotton seed that, through biotechnology, is resistant to herbicides, insects, or both. Conventionally bred herbicide resistant varieties are excluded. Insect resistant varieties include only those containing bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). The Bt varieties include those that contain more than one gene that can resist different types of insects. Stacked gene varieties include only those containing biotech traits for both herbicide and insect resistance. The s published individually in the following tables represent 86 percent of all corn planted acres, 8 percent of all soybean planted acres, and 9 percent of all Upland cotton planted acres.

32 Spring Weather Summary Highlights: The central and eastern United s rebounded from a harsh winter, although lingering cool, wet conditions delayed spring planting activities for several weeks in some areas especially across northern portions of the Plains and Corn Belt. Much warmer weather arrived across the northern Plains and Midwest during the second half of May, promoting the germination and establishment of late-planted crops. Farther south, late-spring rainfall on the central and southern Plains benefited summer crops and revived rangeland and pasture, but arrived too late to salvage a winter wheat crop that had been battered by drought, winter weather extremes, and spring freezes. Meanwhile, a late-spring drying trend across the interior Northwest became an agricultural concern with respect to rangeland, pastures, winter wheat, and spring-sown crops, despite wetness earlier in the season. Elsewhere, occasional spring showers from California into the Southwest failed to significantly dent a three-year drought or improve water-supply prospects. Above-normal temperatures aggravated the drought situation in California and neighboring areas, as a meager snowpack melted early and late-spring heat boosted irrigation demands. Spring temperatures averaged at least to F above normal in much of California and parts of adjoining s, while near-to below-normal temperatures prevailed from the Plains to the East Coast. Spring was slowest to arrive in the upper Great Lakes region, where March-May temperatures averaged at least to 6 F below normal. Below-normal spring precipitation dominated the central and southern Plains and the Southwest, despite widespread, late-may rainfall. Much of the remainder of the country experienced near-to above-normal precipitation, with the wettest areas relative to normal including the Pacific Northwest, parts of the upper Midwest, and portions of the eastern Gulf Coast region. Historical Perspective: According to preliminary data provided by the National Climatic Data Center, spring featured regionally contrasting temperatures and drier-than-normal conditions across much of the central and south-central United s. Conversely, spring wetness was noted in many northern and southeastern s. The Nation s average March-May temperature of 1.1 F was 0. F above the th century mean, while the average precipitation of 8.01 inches was 1 percent of normal marking the 1 st -warmest, nd -wettest spring since 189. Generally cool weather in the central and eastern United s contrasted with spring warmth in the West. As a result, temperature rankings ranged from the 11 th -coolest spring in Louisiana and Wisconsin to the fifth-warmest March-May period in California. Meanwhile, precipitation rankings ranged from the third-driest spring in Kansas to the fourth-wettest spring in Washington. March: Under a dry, windy weather regime, worsening drought led to declines in rangeland, pasture, and winter wheat conditions across the central and southern Plains. By March 30, the portion of the wheat crop rated in very poor to poor condition included 9 percent in Texas, percent in Oklahoma, and percent in Kansas, compared to 6, 31, and percent, respectively, just weeks earlier. Meanwhile, wintry conditions refused to yield from the northern Plains into the Northeast. Chicago was among several Midwestern locations reporting a record-low average temperature from December to March. And in the Northeast, a large number of communities noted record-low March average temperatures, as well as a record-high number of sub-zero days in March. Due to low temperatures and frequent snowfall, much of the Nation s northern tier remained covered by snow at month s end. In addition, an end-of-month blizzard struck the Dakotas and neighboring areas, bringing snow back to some areas where it had only recently melted. Farther west, a second consecutive month of wet weather affected areas from the Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies. Wetness was a contributing factor to a deadly mudslide in western Washington, but also bolstered Northwestern water-supply prospects and aided pastures and winter grains. In contrast, California, the Great Basin, and much of the Southwest neared the end of a third consecutive year of drought, although locally significant, late-month storminess aided rain-fed crops and temporarily eased irrigation demands. Elsewhere, abundant rainfall soaked portions of the South and East. In combination with below-normal temperatures, spring fieldwork including corn, rice, and sorghum planting was mostly behind schedule across the Deep South during 3 Acreage (June 1)

33 March. By March 30, corn was 30 percent planted in Mississippi, 8 percent in Texas, and 18 percent in Arkansas, compared to respective five-year averages of, 8, and 30 percent. In addition, late-month freezes mainly on March 6- threatened, but did not appear to significantly harm, blooming Southeastern fruits. April: April was another devastatingly dry, dusty, windy month across the southern High Plains, perpetuating an historic, 3½-year drought. Cold spells in mid-april and again at month s end caused further declines in winter wheat condition due to freeze injury. By May, the portion of the winter wheat crop rated in very poor to poor condition included 3 percent in Oklahoma, 6 percent in Texas, percent in Kansas, and 3 percent in Colorado. Just weeks earlier, on April 6, those numbers had stood at 8, 61,, and 33 percent, respectively. The southern Plains ongoing drought also continued to adversely affect rangeland and pastures. In stark contrast, stubbornly cold, wet conditions prevented or sharply limited spring fieldwork from the northern Plains into the Great Lakes region. In major spring wheat-production s such as Minnesota and North Dakota, planting delays were similar to those observed last year. Outside of the upper Midwest, planting delays were less significant. In fact, corn planting by May was ahead of the five-year average pace in southern Corn Belt s such as Missouri and Illinois. Meanwhile, widespread to locally excessive rain fell across the South, except for dry conditions in the western Gulf Coast region. The rain favored pasture growth but caused planting delays for crops such as cotton and rice. Toward month s end, torrential rainfall in southern Alabama and western Florida triggered flash flooding. Late-month downpours also caused flooding in portions of the northern Mid-Atlantic s. Elsewhere, occasional April showers failed to provide significant relief to drought-stricken areas from California into the Southwest. Any precipitation benefits, such as greening of pastures and short-term reductions in irrigation requirements, were temporary, with little effect on Western water-supply prospects. May: Heavy rain drenched the drought-ravaged southern High Plains from May 1-6, providing much needed moisture for rangeland, pastures, and summer crops. However, the rain arrived too late to benefit the southern Plains winter wheat, irreversibly harmed by drought, winter weather extremes, and spring freezes. By June 1, a substantial portion of the winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition in Oklahoma (8 percent), Texas (6 percent), and Kansas (6 percent). Meanwhile, planting delays persisted during the first half of the month across northern portions of the Plains and Corn Belt, mainly due to cool, wet weather and low soil temperatures. During the second half of the month, sudden warmth favored a rapid planting pace along with corn, soybean, and spring wheat emergence and development despite occasional showers. Fieldwork also quickly advanced across the remainder of the Midwest, leaving corn planting nearly finished (9 percent complete) by June 1. In fact, a substantial portion of the United s corn and soybeans 66 and 3 percent, respectively were planted during the -week period ending June 1. Similarly, warm weather and periodic showers across the South promoted fieldwork with only minor delays, as well as pasture growth, winter wheat maturation, and summer crop development. Elsewhere, warm, mostly dry weather dominated areas west of the Rockies. California, completing a third consecutive drought year, faced a growing strain on limited water supplies in part due to increased irrigation demands. Low reservoir levels also remained a concern in several other s, stretching from Oregon and Nevada into the Southwest. In addition, drought concerns spread into portions of the interior Northwestern wheat belt. Crop Comments Corn: The 1 corn planted area for all purposes is estimated at 91.6 million acres, down percent from last year. This represents the lowest planted acreage in the United s since ; however, this is the fifth largest corn acreage in the United s since 19. Growers expect to harvest 83.8 million acres for grain, down percent from last year. Farmers responding to the survey indicated that 98 percent of the intended corn acreage had been planted at the time of the interview, the same as the -year average. Acreage (June 1) 33

34 The start of this year s corn planting was delayed due to late season winter storms and lingering cold weather which hampered fieldwork across most of the Midwest. By April 13, producers had planted 3 percent of this year s corn crop, only slightly ahead of last year s very slow start but 3 percentage points behind the -year average. Planting progress was behind normal in all s except Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin. More favorable weather conditions returned to the major corn producing areas by month s end, allowing planting progress to advance rapidly. By April, producers had planted 19 percent of this year s corn crop, 1 percentage points ahead of last year. Planting progress was most rapid in the eastern Corn Belt. Despite these improvements, many producers chose to wait on planting because of the cool, wet soil conditions. By May, producers had planted 9 percent of this year s corn crop, 18 percentage points ahead of last year but 13 points behind the -year average. Planting progress was most rapid in the western areas of the major corn-producing region. Weather conditions improved significantly during the week ending May 11, when 9 percent of the corn was in the ground, 33 percentage points ahead of last year but only slightly ahead of the -year average. Planting progress was rapid across the Corn Belt, advancing percentage points in Iowa, 1 points in Indiana, and 3 points in Illinois during the week ending May 11. Nationally, 18 percent of the corn crop was emerged at this time, 13 percentage points ahead of last year, but points behind the -year average. By May 18, planting progress was ahead of normal in southern regions of the Corn Belt but the northern s of Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin were at least percentage points behind their respective -year averages. Warmer weather promoted double-digit emergence in 1 of the 18 major estimating s. As May drew to a close, dry, warm conditions across the corn-producing regions aided planting progress and crop development. By May, producers had planted 88 percent of this year s crop, percentage points ahead of last year but equal to the -year average. Progress was well ahead of normal in Illinois and Indiana. By the end of the month, 60 percent of the Nation s corn crop had emerged, 11 percentage points ahead of last year but points behind the -year average. At the start of June, 9 percent of this year s corn crop was planted, percentage points ahead of last year. Eighty percent of the corn crop was emerged at this time. Above-average temperatures in much of the Corn Belt aided producers in finishing planting and promoted the development of the newly planted crop. Overall, 6 percent of the corn was reported in good to excellent condition, compared with 63 percent at the same time last year. Sorghum: Area planted to sorghum in 1 is estimated at. million acres, down percent from last year. Kansas and Texas, the leading sorghum producing s, account for 8 percent of the United s acreage. Growers expect to harvest 6.0 million acres for grain, down percent from last year. As of June, eighty-eight percent of the crop had been planted, 3 percentage points behind last year and percentage points behind the -year average. Fifty-seven percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition on June, compared with percent at the same time last year. Oats: Area seeded to oats for the 1 crop year is estimated at 3.03 million acres, up less than 1 percent from 13. This represents the fourth-lowest United s planted area on record. Record low planted acreage is estimated in California, Montana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Wyoming, and Virginia. Growers expect to harvest 1.1 million acres, up 1 percent from last year but the fourth lowest harvested acreage on record. Record low harvested acreage is expected in California and Montana. Oat seeding was well underway by April 13 with 9 percent of the Nation s crop sown. By May 11, fifty-six percent of the crop was seeded, 3 percentage points behind the -year average. Nationally, oat emergence also followed a slower than normal pace. As of June 1, heading was running behind normal in most of the major oat-producing s. As of June, sixty-four percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition compared with percent at the same time last year. Barley: Producers seeded 3.09 million acres of barley for the 1 crop year, down 11 percent from the previous year. This represents the third-lowest seeded area on record. Harvested area, forecast at.63 million acres, is down 1 percent from 13. Record low planted acreage is estimated in California, Michigan, and New York. 3 Acreage (June 1)
